EXTRACTS OF PROCEEDINGS. 



lxxxv 



Cattleya Canhamiana previously sent out by Messrs. Veitch. 

 C. L. N. Ingram, Esq., Elstead House, Godalming (gardener, 

 Mr. Bond), staged what purported to be a seedling of the same 

 parentage as the last two mentioned, but its flowers seemed to 

 exhibit more of the appearance of Lselia Boothiana (Cattleya 

 lobata) than L. purpurata, and the Committee requested to see 

 it again. 



F. Wigan, Esq., Clare Lawn, East Sheen (gardener, Mr. W. 

 H. Young), sent a fine plant of Phalamopsis grandiflora, to 

 ■which a Cultural Commendation was awarded, and cut flowers 

 of Cattleya Mendelii and Laslia purpurata Russelliana. 



Malcolm S. Cooke, Esq., Kingston Hill, staged a fine plant 

 of Cattleya intricata var. maculata, like a dwarf C. guttata 

 Prinzii (C. amethystoglossa) with a C. intermedia lip. Also 

 various other Cattleyas and Epidendrum vitellinum majus. 



A. H. Smee, Esq., The Grange, Hackbridge, exhibited his 

 Cattleya Mendelii hackbridgensis. A very handsome form, with 

 white sepals and petals, the latter heavily tipped with crimson, 

 and a very richly coloured lip. Also cut flowers of C. Mossiae 

 "Mrs. Smee," very fine. 



Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., M.P., sent a fine white Miltonia 

 vexillaria, Dendrobium MacCarthiae, a fine specimen of D. thyrsi- 

 florum, and a pretty light form of Cattleya Mossise. 



Messrs. B. S. Williams & Son, Upper Holloway, staged in 

 their group Cattleya Mossise decora and a spotted form of Odonto- 

 glossum crispum. 



Messrs. James Veitch & Sons exhibited the new Dendrobium 

 lineale, from New Guinea, with a spray of numerous white flowers, 

 the lip marked with crimson lines. 



From the Duke of Northumberland's garden, Syon House, 

 Brentford, Mr. Wythes brought flower-spikes of the fine old
